pretty much all of them, i will get through aejones diary soon and some of improvas videos....read baluga whales book many times etc. but i wonder if its over the 25l level. they all say they will help you beat 100nl but i wonder if the competition is stiffer at 25nl than it was a couple years ago...

I like aejones and baluga's books.
They are both awesome.
But they are totally wrong for 25NL.
Way too advanced.
You're doing magic tricks to a dog. It wastes time and annoys the dog.
aejones is for nose bleed stakes.
To beat the micros you don't need to worry about balancing your range or playing unexploitably.
Are you using a HUD?

ya thats what i thought but im not being too complex i think, just never gaining, i feel like i must out class the low limit players but im not winning the monies. i may be over thinking it but i feel like i lose more if i play stupider. i have a few more learning tricks up my sleeve and then ill be stuck. maybe i need to move up to nosebleeds then....
and yes im using a hud but honestly i haven't zoned in on the standards for each stat like i know tourney play...

partly....because aejones would likely have a huge winrate at 25nl over a large sample, uh i assume right or whomever ever. and also how can i beat 50 nl if i can't beat 25nl.....but lastly how can i win mtts if i can't beat micro stakes poker......
was trying to post our allin pre with j8s and 44 or something playin cash but i messed up my pt3 trying to do it....

One thing that I see good players do against donkeys is to try to bully them off hands. This spews money to the donkeys. Often you see good players 3 barrel a donkey who won't fold his 3rd pair.

Those are good players? Our definitions must be different...

A simple TAG strategy should be sufficient then playing NL25 to profit. Play a lot of position and make sure you are able to release hands when you get resistance. A lot of the players at NL25 play an ABC poker game with a bit of a mix, I find if you bet your hand accordingly and don't call a lot of re-raises on the river chances are you will have a decent win rate at this level. Post some hand histories where you thought you made some errors and we can see where your leaks are.....

Very true as well, playing the 11-27 dollar tournies on Stars etc, you may find yourself binking a nice score, even the SNGs can be profitable.

PLO ROCKS....I suggest PLO to help with hand reading and understanding betting, I found after playing PLO for the last 6 months hold em is a cake walk. Also anything under 1/2 PLO is pretty straight forward and extremely easy. Just brush up on a couple of PLO concepts.
Once again play within your limit and the avg player should be able to beat NL100 and under with enough info.
